| prerequisite |
|---|
| Knowledge |
|---|
| demonstrate knowledge of the principles of designing and evaluating a spatial work with regard to its lighting, color, and compositional effects, understand the principles of formulating and defending one's own artistic concept and the principles of professional discussion regarding the design, understand the importance of feedback in the creative process and the principles of utilizing it to develop and refine the design, possess knowledge of the procedures for finalizing the design and constructing the final model of the spatial work |
| Skills |
